UPDATE 23/3/2018
****************************
I've been buying games, gift cards, software keys basically everything from this website constantly for more than a year now and I can't be more satisfied than this! The prices are very cheap and the support agents are extremely friendly, if I was able to rate it again I would give it another 5 starts for sure! Keep up the amazing service Kinguin! Please don't go the way G2A went and ruin this beautiful service!
****************************
I bought many games from Kinguin, and they all got delivered instantly without a delay and without a single problem during checking out!
Awesome service I'd definitely give it more than 5 star if I could.

Note: Just had an issue with an order and it got solved instantly with the LiveChat even without their "Kinguin Buyer Protection", the support agent was extremely friendly I only talked to him for 10 minutes and it felt like he was my friend for a life-time! This was the best support I had my entire life!

Hi!
I continue to maintain that the site, the ever expanding, changing, and the buyer or seller, both strive to meet and meet the demands.
I think the site is in the top site, in this category that the page represents and is constantly adjusting to the alternating market, my needs continue to be satisfactory and appropriate to me.
Of course, everyone has an opinion about it. I have only shared my own opinion with people, and that is just my humble opinion and experience with the site.
Thank you for reading it. Have a nice day.

I stumbled across Kinguin about a year ago looking for some cheaper alternatives to Steam. I've placed maybe 5 orders for a total of maybe about $40. I've also looked into selling a few keys myself on there. The prices you get are great when you compare them to full retail. Also, even though I don't spend much there, the two times I've used their chat feature they've been amazingly friendly and treated me like I've been the guy paying to keep the lights on. I've only ever had one issue with a key that was already used, and even though I didn't opt for the buyer protection they went ahead and took care of coordinating everything to make it right. It was only a $1.39 game, but again, they treated me like my issue was the most important they had to do. I've used a few similar sites, but after my last experience with Kinguin, I won't be going anywhere else again.

If you are looking to sell your windows keys here, I wouldn't recommend it, I had to wait 3 weeks to be verified to sell keys then they made me fill out the same exact application TWO MORE TIMES, just to be turned down for "insufficient information" when I clearly answered every box in full.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback and we apologise that you have encountered issues with your case.

Unfortunately not every person can sell software keys in our store. Before such a thing is possible we need to verify the keys thoroughly and, unfortunately, this may take some time. We apologise that yours took so long and that it has been denied in the end. Our top priority is to provide our customers with the best products we can possibly offer, that is why a verification regarding certain keys is extremely necessary. If you provide us with more information (your email registered in our store or even an order number) we will be able to review your case once more.

And regarding our Buyers Protection - this feature is optional and you can choose not to add it to your order, however it is always a good idea to purchase it as it may greatly speed up solving cases concerning issues with keys (invalids, duplicates and so on).

We hope this unpleasant experience will not discourage you from visiting our store again.

Best regards,
Karo
